Limbaugh Predicts A Landslide Now That Trump Is The Nominee
Neither the pundits not the pollsters get it, insisted Rush LimbaughWednesday in the wake of Donald Trump’s dramatic victory in Tuesday’s Indiana GOP primary, followed by the departure of Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Limbaugh took a contrary view of pollsters and pundits, many of whom have repeatedly said Trump cannot beat likely Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. “My instinctive feeling right now is that Trump is gonna win, beat Hillary badly, that it could be landslide proportions,” he said.
Limbaugh argued those that think differently are blinded by politics as usual.
“I still don’t think people understand why Trump won this. I don’t think they understand at all the reason people support Trump. And the deeper people are entrenched in politics, and the more they are accustomed to the templates and the handbooks and the theories and the playbooks, the less they’re gonna understand it,” said Limbaugh.
“During the course of this entire campaign, I’ve gone to great lengths to try to explain to people what it is about Trump, why he has his supporters, why they support him, and what you have to do to separate them from Trump. Basically, you can’t. That’s the bottom line. There’s nothing any professional politician can do. They’ve done everything that they knew how to beat a candidate. They threw everything they had at Trump,” he said.
Limbaugh argued Trump had an unbeatable formula for victory.
“So a guy comes along and tells ’em he’ll make America great, identifies problems, and then proposes solutions; doesn’t hold back. It’s not hard to figure any of this out,” he said.
Columnist Matthew Tully of the Indianapolis Star, voiced similar thoughts.
“There is the undeniable connection he has established with many of his supporters. Few politicians who’ve made a career in the profession have enjoyed anything close to the bond he has with a die-hard band of loyalists who seem unlikely to abandon him no matter how empty his policy promises and how inflammatory his rhetoric,” wrote Tully.
Although not a Trump supporter himself, Tully explained the mindset of Trump supporters.
“When voters are fed up they are often willing to take a chance on something or someone that might seem unthinkable. And make no mistake about it, millions of voters on both sides of the aisle are fed up. If they want something different — well, what is more different than Donald Trump?” he wrote.
“For many Trump supporters this is nothing short of a cause, just as President Obama’s 2008 campaign was in the minds of many of his backers. What does that mean? A level of energy, support and volunteerism that can propel a campaign. Now, it should be noted that Trump might inspire an even greater cause on the other side. But any candidate who can draw a crowd of 12,000 in Evansville and about the same number in South Bend shouldn’t be underestimated,” Tully added.
